Currently a wmb() is used to ensure that writes to the UTP_TASK_REQ_LIST_BASE* regs are completed prior to following writes to the run/stop registers. wmb() ensure that the write completes, but completion doesn't mean that it isn't stored in a buffer somewhere. The recommendation for ensuring the bits have taken effect on the device is to perform a read back to force it to make it all the way to the device. This is documented in device-io.rst and a talk by Will Deacon on this can be seen over here: https://youtu.be/i6DayghhA8Q?si=MiyxB5cKJXSaoc01&t=1678 But, none of that is necessary here. All of the writel()/readl()'s here are to the same endpoint, so they will be ordered. There's no subsequent delay() etc that requires it to have taken effect already, so no readback is necessary here. For that reason just drop the wmb() altogether.
